Hi All
I bought a new GTI today - spec I wanted and at the right price. Only problem is that the dealer has fitted slimline weathershields to the front and rear doors (before I purchased). I am not a big fan of the look of them but could live with them if need be.
I asked the dealer if they could take them off - they were hesitant saying they couldnt guarantee they would come off cleanly and were more than double sided taped on (apparently a silicone is also used).
Has anyone taken off these before where they are dealer fitted? Its the parts that have been stuck to the plastic trim that worry me more than the paint (unless the silicone / glue is stronger enough to etch the clear cote?).
thanks
